    Hello,

    I am trying to have downloadable files on my form, just like a product list, but instead of ordering the item, the users should be able to download the file. Does JotForm have this functionality?

    Hi Anshul,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You'll want to upload your files to any of the following:

    • Cloud storage (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).
    • Your website’s FTP.
    • If the files are just images, use image hosting platforms (e.g. Imgur, Photobucket).

    After you do that, you'll want to copy the link location of the files where you can access them. Then you'll be able to insert the link into a paragraph field on your form to allow them to download it on the form directly. Let me show you how it's done:

    1. Click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.
    2. Under the Basic tab, scroll down to Paragraph, and drag and drop a Paragraph element to your form. How to add a downloadable file on the form? Image 1 Screenshot 50
